Why should I back up my files?

Tom Butter2018-02-06T23:05:47+00:00Keeping your financials secure is critical to all business owners and is therefore very important to us. We trust that you are backing up your financial records to a USB or external hard drive. It is recommended that you backup your Cashflow Manager files every month or each time you finish working with the program. Backing up your file minimizes the loss of data if you experience a sudden power loss or if your computer should fail.
